“They sang of love, and not of fame;

Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie.”

Like my mother sang to me
One with good old fashioned harmony.
Play a simple melody.”
—Irving Berlin (18881989)
“I respect the ways of old folks, but the blood of a rooster or a goat cannot turn the seasons, change the course of the clouds and fill them up with water like bladders. The other night, at the ceremony for Legba, I danced and sang my fill: I am a black man, no? and I enjoyed it like a true Negro should. When the drums beat, I feel it in the pit of my stomach, I feel the itch in my hips and up and down my legs, I have got to join the party. But that is all.”
—Jacques Roumain (19071945)
